    Just hope something is done about it. Since Tom's is still read by many people in the industry, some of the companies whos logo are on the card can start legal action. Great stuff.

    I hope Tom's follows up and really tries to get a unti from Michael to test. I want to see them chase him down again, this time with a warrant for his arrest

    I don't think the computers even exist, the whole thing just seems to be a complete scam.

    Kudos to Tom's hardware, I think we all wanted to see this, I'm downloading the interview now, can't wait for it

    OMG die michael die you stupid prick. The guy refused to remove the maximum pc logo even after they told him to geez. There is no hope getting any truth out of him he's trying to tell them how he can use their logo.

    what's sad is it seems he completely believes everything he is saying. And he has a reason for anything...i thought for sure tom would catch him with something.

    That's just damn funny. He is going to join Martha at Club Fed if he keeps this up.


    EDIT: Oh look! His website account has been suspended.

    I’m very discrete. I have no code of brand loyalty. I will build anything, anywhere; Gaming PC, workstation, HTPC, doesn’t matter. I just love building.
